I always try to find the source of the problem of the TOO MUCH ERP station! Who tell them to
always crank up their power? I found it!!! AMSAT-NA is the source of the problem? Read below what
i taken from the above mentioned AMSAT web page:http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/articles/Mode-J
"...Several solutions exist and an easy one is to just reduce your transmit power. This may solve
the problem but it will probably limit your ability to operate when satellite conditions are
difficult such as near AOS or LOS or when the satellite transponder is especially busy."
"it will probably limit your ability to operate when satellite conditions are difficult...such as
...when the satellite transponder is especially busy." Go ahead press the pedal to the floor...
This mean in clear you cannot used low power when the satellite is busy!!! Bad choice of words or
bad explanations? be my guest and guess!
